CHICAGO 5 BOSTON A Maze of Contradictions Our current literature—including biography and his-} fory—and our popular thinking about men and things, ‘@ppear to be in a state of contradiction and confusion. At least, 30 it seems to the average reader, who lays no tlaims to being a member of the intelligentsia. { 5 Several years ago, while Elbert Hubbard was having; *, ’ | his literary fling at East Aurora, he wanted his readers; | to know that he was the exponent of a new brand of thinking which he called the American philosophy. One of his critics asked him what his American philosophy eonsisted of, and Fra Elbertus made this laconic reply: *Dam’d if I know!” ‘The same reply could be made with even greater force * ff anyone should ask what sort of creed the American | philosophy is at the present time. If there is such a greed, it appears to be badly unsettled. On the one hand we have the debunkers, drawing mean ., @nd contemptible pictures of our most beloved patriots * and statesmen, of our business men, farmers and working * classes. On the other hand we have the masses, shout- * ing themselves hoarse over the truly heroic exploits of a : Lindbergh, a Wilkins, a Byrd, or a Rockne, or giving their fervent support to leaders in social and political reforms, On the one hand we have a school of cynical novel- sts who picture men as spineless, unmoral or immoral Jellyfish. On the other hand we have a public still faith- ful to the old ideals and hungering for tales of strong- hearted endurance and perfect manhood. Many observers are disposed to look on this tendency fn fiction as alarming. That the typical hero has been kicked out may be a healthy sign of change, but it is distressing to note that his place has been usurped by the Poorest of poor fish, whose moronic imbecilities are paraded on the printed page. Among the writers of such stories may be mentioned: Sinclair Lewis, Anne Douglas Sedgwick, Louis Brom- field, Margaret Kennedy, Irving Fineman, Charles Norris, John Held, Jr., and even Booth Tarkington, who has been called the dean of American letters. The perfect flab-| biness of the males characterized by these writers drives| one to the conclusion that they are catering to a passing| fad in literature. It seems that in fiction the manly man has become taboo, and it is only the hardened criminal who stands cut as strong-willed and resourceful. It is easy enough to see that such stories, if they are intended to represent @ true cross-section of American life, are badly twisted and out of focus. ‘There is no denying that the old literature needed a new vision and a new vitalizing force; but there does not seem to be much of that vision and force in the present crop of “realists,” debunkers and Spoon river croakers, Germany the Explosive Before the World war Germany was the heap of Gynamite waiting for the spark which would set it off. It was a danger to Europe, because of its weak-minded vain and strutting kaiser, because of its huge and wonder- Zul army and because of the men who had built it and ‘wanted to try it out. Today, situated in the very heart of Europe, a sorely- tried and struggling republic, Germany is once more the danger place. The moderate political parties in Ger- Many, who want to build up their great nation in the freedom of republican institutions, find themsleves menaced at the same time by the extremists of the right— the Hitlerites—and the extremists of the left—the Com- munists. The Hitlerites are all for repudiating the burdens im- posed upon their country by the treaty of Versailles. They are not staggered even by the idea that this might Plunge their country once more into war. The Commun- ists are all for creating in Germany a nice version of the Bolo paradise right near their borders. They, too, have a contempt for written treaties. They, too, denounce the burdens imposed by “capitalistic” countries. In ordinary times, the appeal of these madmen of the; right and of the left would make small impression upon the bulk of the steady-going Germans, But these are not ordinary times in Germany. Her business is badly crippled. Her financial burdens are enormous. Her taxes are staggering. Her unemployment lists are enormous. Her middle class is being ground between the upper and the nether millstones. In their despair at conditions, not only the young and thoughtless, but even gome of the soberer elements of the community are turning either to the swastika cross of Hitler, or the red banner of the Communists. Every election lately has told the seme tale. And this is not only @ danger to Germany itself, but a direct menace to the peace of Europe. The Geyman cabinet, the more moderate German press ‘nd some of her leading statesmen are asking the coun- tries, which won the war, to try to ameliorate the con- Gitions imposed upon their nation. It is not a false ery they are uttering. It is the simple truth. It will test the statesmarship of the other big European powers. ‘There is grave danger that Geymany may once more reach the exploding point, Example Every man has some power over others that is exer- eised without conscious effort on his part. It is a re- he cannot dodge. If he is a strong man, oth- ers will strive to emulate his strength. If he is a weak one man who walks his chosen way without 2.50 | French government expert on deafness, who is visiting the 2.00 ly should be considered sufficient grounds for divorce. or a disturbing of dividends are dangerous cranks who should be jailed or deported, those who associate with him soon learn to use his pet phrases in denunciation of dreamers and to feel a certain awe of money in large piles. Therefore, since it is a certainty that the average man, who lacks a dominating personality, will be remade after the image of the strong men within whose orbit he moves, why shouldn't he exercise what little discretion he has in the matter and attach himself to men who now are what he would like to be? What Do the Ladies Say? A shrill and raucous voice on the part of a wif? should be grounds for a divorce, according to Dr. Robert Morche, United States to study noise conditions. “Constant high pitched speech by wives,” he says, “real- Many American women have rasping, nasal voices that would wear down any man’s nerves. Let women realize there is as much sex appeal in the timbre of a lovely voice as there is in a beautiful face or form.” Of course metropolitan life in the United States abounds in disturbing sounds. There is the clangor of traffic, the screech of riveting machines. At home there is the neighbor's radio or a temperamental display of static by your own. There is the perpetually ringing telephone. But to charge breaches in the domestic harmony en- tirely to the account of American wives seems a harsh indictment. Husbands do occasionally talk back and not always in dulcet tones. There is little likelihood that the French doctor's remarks will have any appreciable in- fluence upon the divorce rate. But what about the women's clubs, sewing circles and bridge groups when they hear that their voices are “rasping, nasal and lack- ing in sex appeal”? Instead of helping to solve the na-/ tion’s noise problem it looks as though Dr. Morche may | have done a good deal to augment it. | Reforming by ‘Dress Reform An old-fashioned “Mother Hubbard” dress—the last) thing to be expected on Fifth Avenue in New York— made its appearance there the other day. No one had ever seen anything like it on that glam-; orous thoroughfare. The dress was ugly, uncomfortable and outmoded by 30 years. It was shown with others as/ unattractive as part of an exhibition arranged by Julia} Jaffray, penologist. All of the dresses in the exhibit were | institutional costumes selected from various charitable | and penal institutions for women and children. It is! Miss Jaffray's hope that seeing these drab, harsh cos-} tumes may crystalize public sentiment to support a move- | ment to do away with such clothing. | ‘The agitation to substitute bright colors and up-to-date patterns for the hideous aprons which women prisoners now wear can not be ignored as just another fad of the sentimentalists. It is reported that present prison garb is wasteful. Mother Hubbards require more cloth than modern cuts would. The heavy, old-fashioned materials cost more by the yard than attractive, equally service- able fabrics. A feature of the New York display was the bright (colored cotton frocks in which New Jersey clothes {ts homeless children of school age. These frocks were made by women in one of the state's reformatories. | is said the demeanor of the women prisoners was con-) siderably improved by the change in the material vat patterns on which they work. Prison stripes for men have long since been abandoned in most reformatories and the beneficial effect is gen- erally recognized. It seems logical that women prison- ers may be even more affected by the appearance of their garments than are men. An officer in the U. 8. Navy got “in bad” for a run-in with the president of Nicaragua after-thé recent carth- quake. If the American public knew just what the Yan- ikee told the pompous little brown man he might be a national hero. It was a fine example of brotherly love which that western judge gave when he fined his doctor brother for not having a tail light on his car, and all because his | brother had given him a dose of castor oil. There's one case where many folks will feet that justice was done. Editorial Comment Editoriale printed below show the trend of thought by other editors.

Carr, lieutenant governor of North Dakota, who resides at Jamestown, in a lengthy statement, urges the interests within his home city that are advocating the removal of the state capital to Jamestown, to with- draw their petitions and save the state the bother and expense of an election that could only result in James- town’s overwhelming defeat. Carr points out that there is very little sentiment for the removal of the capital outside of Stutsman county, and the sentiment for the capital removal is far from unanimous. He learns that the scheme has brought more harm to Jamestown during the past three months than can be repaired in 25 years by all of the service clubs, civic and fraternal organizations, He says the business interests of the city are being boycotted. Carr has undoubtedly seen the light and his state- ment should be heeded by those few who have let their enthusiasm override their better judgment. Our lieutenant governor should have spoken weeks ago. Reapportionment Problems (New York Times) Senators and representatives in the early days of the republic were chosen by entire states. In 1842 the house, under constitutional warrant, enacted the “district plan” for representatives, the reason being that the sys- tem of choosing members at large gave too much ad- vantage to the majority party in each state. Certain commonwealths have recently been returning to the state-wide manner of choosing members of the house. The working out of the changes under the new apportion- ment promises greatly to increase the number of house members, who will be as much the elect of a whole state as are their senatorial colleagues. ©n the Watch-Tower page today a Minneapolis dis- Patch describes how. the northwest, struggling with the in iv mE nly te My ore tie Anca) necessity of Tedacing 2 ‘its number of congréssional dis- tricts, is returning to the at-large type of member. North Dakota had three districts, which in the seventy- third house must be reduced to two. Despairing working out @ plan to the satisfaction of the present three Tepresentatives, North Dakota has simply decided to have the whole state choose the two members to which it is entitled. Other states in that region, and those else- where which have lost districts in the reallocation of population, may come to the same solution. The prob- lem is before all legislatures and must be settled some time before nominating time for 1932 comes around. States which, like New York and Michigan and California, have gained in the number of their congressional districts may add large agree on the reshaping of districts, Perhaps this is not en- tirely consonant with the ideas of the act of 1842, but the federal government is not likely to contest North Dakote’s action. Under the law congressional where districts are retained, are supposed to be “as nearly equal as practicable.” This, too, is a generally dis- jarded ‘Wherever ent is on the docket another q reapportionms thought for the preferences, opinions and will of others. | phase of American political life has risen in the path Be is | man; original, dominant, cocksure.

Evidently the result of the game was on my shoulders, or a major share of it, and it seemed unfair, when I was 80 tired, and more nervous than ever before.

[ Stickler Solution j GETTING THE MOST OUT OF LIFE Recently I read an article by a very brilliant medical writer in which he stated that every one is born with a certain inheritance of vitality and age to which not over a month of addi- tional life could be added by the best of living habits. This man is un- doubtedly a wonderful stylist of the English language, but it seems to me that his words, similes, and metaphors were chosen with more care than his facts and logic. ‘Think of the incalculable harm that would result if people believed that they could live just as long with bad habits as with good ones. It is that kind of belief which makes so many patients for doctors. The idea is inherently wrong. For example we can take the grains from an ear of corn, shake them well and divide the grains into two piles. The- oretically both groups of these corn seeds will have the same inherent vitality and length of life, but you Plant one half of these seeds in good soil, water it properly, keep down weeds and parasites, and take the other seeds and plant them in poor soil, where there is not enough water, where the weeds are allowed to flour- ‘sh. What happens? In the first Held will be beautiful green stalks ten or twelve feet tall, with large well filled ears of corn, in the second field will be short, stunted, yellowish stalks, many of which will die when young, jand in the remainder the ears will be small and only partly filled with srain. The same thing is true with human j beings. The food we eat is the soil for the body's growth. If we take a school room of children and feed one- half on a diet that is deficient in fruits, vegetables or milk, these chil- dren will be neither as tall, well formed, or as healthy as the children who are properly fed. The idea of teaching people that their habits of eating, sleeping, breathing and think- ing, have little or no influence upon their health or length of life is one of the greatest of follies. It is true that many hoctors have such a fatalistic view. They have seen People apparently in the best of health suddenly die of an acute dis- ease, and they see others with scarce- ly any vitality eke out a miserable ex- istence for two or three score years. Many such observations may incline the physician as well as the untrain- ed layman into the belief that there is no way to tell when one will live cr die. The ways of Providence may seem mysterious to those who rely upon theory or chance observation, but to those who study carefully will come the belief which was so forcibly im- pressed upon Humbolt that “The Universe is governed by Law.” The small immutable laws of nature gov- ern all living and inanimate things. Today Is the Anniversary of CUBA’S WAR MESSAGF On April 11, 1917, Speaker Champ Clark laid before the United States Congress, amid applause, = message from Miguel Coyula, speaker of the Cuban House of Representatives, re- garding the Cuban declaration of war against Germany. It read: “The House of Representatives of the Republic of Cuba, in declaring that a state of war exists between this nation and the German Zmpire, resolved, all members rising +o their feet and amid the greatest enthusi- asm, to address a message of con- fraternity to that body announcing the pride felt by the people of Cuba in uniting their modest efforts to those of the great nation contending for the triumph of right and respect for the liberty of small nationalities. “The House also resolved to express jthe special gratification of the Cuban people in uniting their flag side by side to that of the glorious nation which in days of ‘undying memory sacrificed the blood of her scns to help the people of Cuba to ‘conquer their liberty and independence.” {BARBS | eo ‘What tourists would like more than @ United State of Europe is some united ratés pt mare Mayor Walker of New York may have acquired a fine burn in Califor- nia, but it will be nothing compared to the romlne } pee Gy back home. ‘They are iy the Empire State Building at $1,000,000 a floor, it is said.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Shingles Question: Mrs. B. V. asks: “Will you kindly explain the cause of shingles, also the symptoms, and state whether or not there is a cure?” Answer: The name “shingles” is given to a disorder caused by the de- Posit of toxic substances along cer- tain nerve trunks. It always occurs on one side of the body at a time, and is more frequently found on the upper back or around the ribs on one side. The ‘nerves are inflamed by the toxins, and the skin ‘breaks out in a rash’ wherever the most irrita- tion exists. The cure is through diet, argd no local treatments are very ef- fective. A fast taken at the onset of the disorder will hasten the cure, but even under this treatment it often takes a week or ten days for ‘the eruption to disappear. Calories Per Day © Question: H. J. writes: “Please state how many calories a day one should get in his food. I am under- weight and, am trying to improve by eating. Is it injurious to take salts every night? Also, what causes fever blisters when one does not seem to have fever or cause for it?” Answer: Dietitians who try to bal- ance patients’ diets through the ca- loric system might say that you re- quire between 2500 and 3500 calories @ day, but the truth is you may get more nourishment and live better on 1000 calories daily, providing your food is of the right quality. It is a had habit to take salts every night. The so-called fever blisters are really caused by hyper-acidity of the sto- mach which is usually present when one has a fever, but, of course, thesc blisters may occur at any time from the over-acidity, even though fevers are not present: ‘DAY, APRIL 12 cyclea—545.1 Meters Popular Program w White olka Bells ‘eather Report to—Judge Rutherford 30—Roxy Symphony ther Report and News 2:06—National Oratorio Society 1:00—Grand .
